They are seated underneath a chandelier made from skeleton bones.
Scarzensky's Roach runs under the table where O.G. Kush is sitting mind blown by another one of the fellow players ugly jewelry sitting at the table.
O.G. KUSH

Snitch looks confused as he looks to Junebug.
SNITCH

JUNEBUG
Hell g'naw, that fool smoke incense.
Everyone laughs.
SNITCH
Ya' regular high-bred gentleman with that fancy talk ain't cha'?
Snitch's eyes are bloodshot red as he grips a piss poor excuse for a pistol called a Pugg under the table.
It's taped together.
JUNEBUG
Look here boy, I'm embarrassed fa' ya', but dis' here the grown folks table.
We ain't playing Ole' Maid.
Snitch tosses in his bet.
SNITCH

Everyone gathered around the table jumps back in horror.
CBR KINGZ

Junebug is pissed.
JUNEBUG

SNITCH

Snitch looks over at Minx.
SNITCH
Everybody knows she used to fuck for food!
Junebug loses it.
Like a raging bull in a china closet Junebug flips the poker table over.
Chips fly everywhere.
Junebug blows Snitch away with his pistol, the Kingpin.
Chinchilla grabs Junebug once he's emptied his clip.
CHINCHILLA
Calm down, bug!
Calm down!
Chinchilla hands Junebug to Minx.
MINX
Just walk it off, baby. Just walk it off.
ALEXIS
Who was that?
JUNEBUG
The kinda' fool that still thinks god rings the school bell.
Alexis giggles with a smirk on her face as she shakes her head.
ALEXIS
Junebug, you ain't right.
JUNEBUG
Neither is the rest of the world so I guess that means I fit right in.
Junebug lights a cigar full of hickory.
ALEXIS
How you been doing?
JUNEBUG
You know me.
I can't complain.
Junebug motions for Alexis to have a seat on the couch.
ALEXIS

JUNEBUG

Junebug exhales some hickory smoke.
JUNEBUG
But, never mind me.
What chu' looking for an ole' raisin like Junebug for?
Junebug ashes his blunt.
JUNEBUG
I ain't seen you in like a month of Sundays.
ALEXIS
I need to use the Infinity.
JUNEBUG
For what?
Alexis motions to herself, 808, and Officer Whistle Britches.
ALEXIS
We're sneaking into the Death Factory.
Junebug looks at Alexis like she's crazy.
JUNEBUG
Girl have you lost your cotton-pickin' mind?
What chu' going in there for?
ALEXIS
I have proof the Occult Bureau's responsible for the Star Dust that's being dealt on the streets of Hollow Point and believe it's being refined by Manzini in the Death Factory.
MINX
That ain't nuthin' new, baby.
Ain't a pirate along the bayou that don't know the Occult Bureau pushin' weight.
Junebug blows out some hickory smoke.
JUNEBUG
She's right.
General Grindcore been using the Armada to smuggle dust in fa' em' out the Golden Triangle ever since the war started.
ALEXIS
They're givin' the current batch away for free though.
Junebug and Minx both look confused.
JUNEBUG AND MINX
Wha'?
Minx snaps out the stupor.
MINX
What they doin' that for?
ALEXIS
I don't know that's why I need to use the Infinity.
Junebug takes another toke off his cigar.
JUNEBUG
How you planning on getting in there?
ALEXIS
Through the sewer system underneath the Death Factory.
Alexis motions to Officer Whistle Britches.
ALEXIS
Whistle Britches used to patrol it.
JUNEBUG
That true?
Officer Whistle Britches nods, yes.
OFFICER WHISTLE BRITCHES
In deed it is.
Junebug ashes his cigar.
JUNEBUG
Gonna be a rough ride.
Place smells like a stray dawg' with two butt-holes fartin' napalm, so ya' can only imagine what it's like inside.
Minx crosses her legs.
MINX
Whatta' bout' General Grindcore?
He's got the Nexus Point on lock down an' there ain't no getting to the bayou unless ya' go through him.
Junebug leans back and puts his arm around her.
JUNEBUG
She, right.
Grindcore actin' like the whole world on probation.
ALEXIS
I'll take care of General Grindcore.
Junebug looks worried as he takes a final pull off his cigar.
JUNEBUG
I'm getting too old for this shit.
Alexis smiles and takes the blunt out his hand.
ALEXIS
Ain't nothing wrong with growing old as long as you age like a fine wine.
Alexis hits the weed.
ALEXIS
It's when you go out like a malt liquor that things tend to get nasty.

He hangs out the side of the Shadow Runner and pulls the trigger on the Blow Torch.
The missile from the Blow Torch hits the Warlock.
The Warlock crashes through a giant billboard advertising Mega Bites Pizza Rolls.
It causes a huge explosion.
Several Think Tanks come out of nowhere and open fire on the Shadow Runner.
They miss and the missiles from the Think Tanks blow up multiple building's instead.
